VALENTINE DECOR

I’ve started adding a little Valentine décor at our house. This vintage Coca-Cola crate frames a 1927 February edition of a Child Life magazine. The vintage porcelain headed Valentine doll was a gift from a friend, and I purchased the heart pillow on Etsy several years ago.

I just move from one holiday right into the next. I want to keep my sweetheart informed of upcoming holidays, so I’ll be certain to receive a gift!

Take a spin and find out who will be your valentine.

Miniature mail boxes decorate the buffet behind the sofa in our family room.

Since the top of this buffet is seen from both sides, whatever I use on it needs to be two-sided. I was able to use the King and Queen of Hearts, because a King and Queen from another deck of cards are inserted behind these.

A friend made the felt heart bag of kittens, and my granddaughter bought me the framed needlework heart. I found the vintage heart-shaped paper napkin in a box of my mother’s things.

“Love is more easily demonstrated than defined”.

Do you do any decorating for Valentine’s Day? If not, does your special someone remember to get you a gift? I’m giving my sweetheart plenty of notice! It was so nice of you to stop by. laurie

Hi Laurie, Your special touches and décor for Valentine's are beautiful. I love the 1927 mag and the sweet little framed heart from your grand is precious as is finding the heart napkin among your mother's treasures. I don't do a lot of decorating for Valentine's Day but I do put out some here and there for a special touch. My hubby and I do give each other cards and he does give me something special like flowers, candy and sometimes something sparkly!! Happy Decorating!Have a great week.Hugs

Laurie - How very pretty! You've inspired me to gather up all my heart shaped items and make a vignette on the hutch in my dining room. That way my family can enjoy it during meals. I usually give my teenage son and my husband a small box of chocolates and a mushy card. Thanks for the inspiration!!
